Olive Oil Carrots

Hi Everyone, as Summer draws to a close this month, I am thinking about getting back to school schedules, weeknight dinners, and general "catch-up mode."

These Olive Oil Carrots are a go-to weeknight (or weekend) vegan side dish that our family regularly has with dinner.

Carrots are like my husband's favorite vegetable to have with dinner so I have been setting about to record all the different recipes that I make with carrots for the blog.

Ingredients

• chopped carrots peeled, ends chopped
• olive oil, regular
• Kosher salt, or more to taste
• black pepper fresh ground, or amount to taste
